Different Nature
Matt.16:25 “If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.”
The second shift you and I need to make in order to have the right perspective is to work like the Lord. Working like Jesus means putting other people ahead of you and getting excited about making them successful. Read the rest of this entry
Love So Amazing!
John 10:17 “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
“It is finished!” Jesus said and He took the key to death and hell from satan and bruised his head. He was taking the Blood, the atoning sacrifice to the altar in heaven and he was leading captivity captive. This was the most crucial part of the assignment. Read the rest of this entry
Active Faith
Heb.11:6 “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him”
God wants us to Step Up in different areas of our lives. We have looked at how to step up financially and spiritually. Over the next few days, we will be looking at a component of stepping up that is indispensable and that is Faith. It is impossible to Step Up without faith. Read the rest of this entry
Watch Out!
Eccl.11:6 “Plant early in the morning, and work until evening because you don’t know if this or that will succeed. They might both do well.”
As you step out in obedience and Earn Some, there are three things that you need to pay attention to and watch out for. The first thing you have to watch out for is Greed. Lu.12:15 “Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” Read the rest of this entry
Point Of Contact IV
Acts 19:11 “Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.”
Handkerchiefs were taken from Paul’s body and carried to where Paul himself could not go and those handkerchiefs healed the sick. I mean that is just amazing – charge and discharge. A man once came for one of our God Will Do It Again Services and when it was time for anointing, he had his handkerchief anointed. This man traveled home to his sick mother who had been unable to walk. He laid the handkerchief on her and the woman got her healing and began to walk. All glory to Jesus, now and forever.
The Workings I
Eccl.11:1 “Don’t be afraid to release your bread upon the waters, for in due time you will find it…4 Those who watch and wait for favorable winds never plant, and those who watch and fret over every cloud never harvest” [Voice].
Years ago I was on a project for a year and a half and I was tired of the project. I wanted to go back to Lagos. So I got the permission to go back. Then I realized that while I was working on the project, I had a free house, car with a driver attached but back home, I did not have a car. So I had a pressing need. I needed a miracle. I had put money aside to buy a big screen television because I like media. Read the rest of this entry
Jesus Is Worthy!
Rev.5:7 He stepped forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. 8 And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb… 9And they sang… “You are worthy to take the scroll…
Sacrifice releases the power that enthrones and makes ordinary men worthy of extra-ordinary privileges. Every God given destiny cannot be attained without sacrifice. God depends on sacrifice to establish men’s destinies. It is what you give to God that secures your place. You have to pay the price in prayer – pray! Pay the price in fasting – fast! Pay the price in commitment. You have to pay the price in studying. 2 Tim.2:15 [KJV] “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. Take note; there is a price tag on everything. Read the rest of this entry
Competency
Prov.22:29 “Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings rather than working for ordinary people”
The third way to increase worthiness or to become worthy is to be competent. Competence particularly is a burden. There are so many people that love God and are tongue talking but are totally incompetent. A lady was trying to sell a product to me but it was obvious she did not even know the product. In the past I have made up my mind not to let anyone waste my time; instead I switch off from the conversation. When she noticed I was switching off she said, “But I come to your church!” My response was, “That even Read the rest of this entry
Sure Reward
“Don’t envy evil men but continue to reverence the Lord all the time, for surely you have a wonderful future ahead of you.” Pr. 23:17-18 [LB, emphasis added]
Yesterday, I shared an experience with you about a business that went south because I chose to honor God and to do the right thing. In retrospect, I can tell you that God is completely faithful. Did I feel the pain, confusion, stress, and pressure? Yes! The reason I share my personal journey through life and walking with God is to let you know that you are not alone. And it is possible to do the right thing and trust God and He that came through for me will come through Read the rest of this entry
Mirror This
“You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance” Ps.65:11
We are totally grateful to God for the One who brought us into the first day of 2015 has brought us to the first day of the last month in 2015. We can confidently face the remaining days in this year and look forward to 2016 because God is good and He is able to do what He has promised. This year has attempted to take some of us with it but it has failed and we will see 2016 and beyond in Jesus Read the rest of this entry
